New movies at the cinema this week – Friday, 16 November

Only three new releases at the cinema this week, but it's worth it!

In this weekly series, we’ll take a look at the newest releases. All you have to do is book your ticket and get lost in the magic of the big screen.

It’s slim pickings at the cinema this week, with only three movies that really deserve a mention. However, one of those are the much anticipated second installment of Fantastic Beasts, so that restores the balance a bit.

Netflix might tempt you to stay in, but if you’re looking for a fun evening out, why not catch one of these three new releases?

Highlights this week:

Movie: Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald

Synopsis:While powerful dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald was been captured by MACUSA (Magical Congress of the United States of America) with the help of Newt Scamander, Grindelwald has escaped custody and set about gathering followers, most not suspecting his true agenda: to raise pure-blood wizards up to rule over all non-magical beings. In an effort to thwart Grindelwald’s plans, Albus Dumbledore enlists his former student, Newt, who’s unaware of the dangers that lie ahead. Lines are drawn as love and loyalty are tested, even among the truest friends and family, in an increasingly divided wizarding world.

Movie: Anon

Synopsis: In a world where there is no privacy or anonymity, even our private memories are recorded, and crime ceases to exist—almost. In trying to solve a series of murders, Sal Frieland stumbles onto a young woman who appears to have subverted the system and gone off-grid. She has no identity, no history and no record. Sal realises that crime may not be over, but only just beginning. Known only as “The Girl,’ she must be found before Sal becomes the next victim.

Movie: Widows

Synopsis: Four women have nothing in common except a debt left behind by their dead husbands’ criminal activities. It’s contemporary Chicago, amid turmoil, and tensions build as Veronica, Alice, Linda, and Belle take fate into their own hands and conspire to forge a future on their terms.
